First things first, be prepared. Be aware of the weather forecast and be ready to deal with it..
As for heating your coach, I'll let someone with a similar coach advise you. 
Welcome to the forum!

First you will need to go into setting and your signature and put your coach year and model. That will help others help you, like the bottom of this post.

If your coach has heat pumps you could turn them on through the thermostat.  Instead of setting for cooling you would be setting for heat pump..

If you have a aquahot you need to turn the burner on and then set the thermostat for gas heat.  On my coach I have a Silverleaf monitor that is touch screen and I go to Hydrolics, then there is a button for burner.

Welcome to the group.

With you planning on being full timers you will be aware of the approaching storm as you most likely will get into the habit of keeping up with the weather. If you haven't headed to warmer weather 2 days before (due to what ever reason) then here is what we would do. Plan ahead and set the Aqua Hot to a nice comfortable setting and head to bed with an electric blanket.

What year Nimbus? Do you have Aquahot for heat?

You will have an Aqua Hot heater or maybe an Oasis heater.  Till you know which one, you are behind the power curve.

If Oasis, turn the power on at the burner module in the basement.  Then turn the diesel switch on inside and go back outside and observe the heater exhaust pipe..  If firing and hot exhaust, you are good to go.

If Aqua Hot, turn the diesel burner on inside.  Go out side and observe the exhaust pipe,  If firing, clean exhaust gases, you are good to go.  If smokey or not firing, service the Webasto burner.

If you want a thorough orientation on either heater.  Drive to the east side of Houston to my guest full hookup and we will have a good discussion.  If any fix is needed, I can do that while you are here.
